Payback

Senator Coburn is being denied his ability to practice medicine (he delivers babies) by the Senate saying that he is receiving “compensation for practicing a profession which involves a fiduciary relationship.” He hasn’t been generating any profit from that activity, which basically means that he can’t keep current on his license, since he has claimed that he only intends to serve in the Senate for two terms. He needs to keep current so he can go back to being a doctor afterwards.

Note that many of the Senators opposing him are upset by his anti-pork crusade. Hat tip to Instapundit.
